Notes:

West Virginia (County Listing) – Revision #2013-05-24

WV tower research by Ron Stafford with assistance from Robert L. Beanblossom, Andy Fitzgibbons, Mark Haughwout and Brian M. Powell.

Special thanks to David Goad and Greg Strong for their outstanding contributions regarding the various McDowell County towers owned by Alawest, Incorporated.

Tower names are as shown on official West Virginia state and U.S. government maps and other publications, or as listed by the various West Virginia state and U.S. government agencies (state conservation, environmental, forestry and transportation departments, NPS, USFS, etc.).

Unconfirmed tower names were taken from unofficial sources (local names, unofficial maps, etc.) or have been assigned by Stafford (until name confirmation or further data is received).

Key:

Green = Standing

Red = Removed

Yellow = Incomplete information (that which is unconfirmed and will be updated as the correct data becomes available).
